Railroad Manuals.

Railroad manuals document the financial aspects of railroads across the United States. Henry V. Poor published his first volume: "History of the Railroads and Canals of the United States" in 1860, by 1868 he released his "Manual of Railroads in the United Sates." which brought essential railroad information to the hands of investors around the country. Documented in each volume is a brief description, equipment summaries, financial data and listing of company officers for each common carrier railroad in the United States. This page is a quick reference to the various manuals we've located online. If you've found a manual we do not have listed here please send us an email, we'd love to hear from you.
